Trouble connecting Eddie 2.24.6 to Mac Mini with Apple M4 Chip, Tahoe 26.0 OS

[Ricnvolved1956 51]

Alright folks, I'm not a newbie, but not tech savvy either. I have a 2024 Mac Mini with an Apple M4 Chip, and just updated MacOS to Tahoe 26.0. I have downloaded the newest version of Eddie, 2.24.6 but I am unable to connect to any server. The first time I tried, it repeatedly went through the motion of connecting but then disconnect after a countdown of 3, 2, 1 sec. So I logged out of Eddie and then logged back in. I tried connecting to a server with no luck. However, this time I got a message above the Eddie window that said, "Exception: Rules Not Loaded". I have no idea what to do. All assistance will of course be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!

You need to give Eddie local network access via the Privacy Settings in MacOS as well as disable or make an allow rule in the Firewall (again, in the Network settings on MacOS)

Sorry for the late answer, but have you tried Eddie 2.21.8? It works fine for me. 2.24.6 crashes at startup on a M1 mac on Tahoe and is very unstable on an Intel Mac under Ventura : it activates network lock when not asked ; disconnects a lot, then gets in a loop trying to unsuccessfully connect to every server then refuses to quit.
